How is the header row handled?ShowHide
If "First row is header" is enabled, the first row of the CSV is used as field names and the remaining rows become JSON objects. If disabled, generic column names like col1, col2 are used.
What JSON format is generated?ShowHide
The tool outputs a JSON array. Each CSV row becomes one JSON object with key-value pairs for each column.
Is my CSV uploaded?ShowHide
No. Parsing and conversion run entirely in your browser. Data is never sent to a server.
